As part of Matchday 3 of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain traveled to face Toulouse Football Club and won 3-6. After scoring a fantastic hat-trick, 20-year-old Parisian midfielder João Neves spoke to PSG TV following the victory. He was naturally asked to reflect on his three goals, including two overhead kicks and a superb strike from outside the box.
João Neves: “We played well, but I think there are still things to improve.”
“I’m very happy with the win, that’s the first thing. And then, for my first hat-trick, I’m very happy. I’m happy to score three goals in this match. We played well, but I think there are still things to improve. In the last part of the match, we conceded two goals, and that’s not what we wanted, so we’ll improve on some things.” My overhead kicks? I’m happy about that. These are things I try in training, and they’ve paid off in matches!”
Little by little, PSG is gaining momentum and putting in more accomplished performances. Beyond João Neves’ hat-trick, the other three goals and the team’s collective performance are also noteworthy. Although they started the season with two weeks of preparation, we can clearly see a real surge in strength today.
For his part, Neves continues to progress and is showing himself to be increasingly decisive. This is an important achievement for PSG, as they see their young recruits taking steps forward and becoming the best in their positions.
